> 3 dayI use this device to control my outdoor landscape lighting. I have a lot of Lutron Caseta in the house and this fit into my smart home system very nicely. It was added quickly to my Lutron app. I use the Lutron app to control all my outdoor lighting on a schedule related to sunrise and sunset. I dont integrate it to Alexa because there is no need to control the lights from the Alexa app, but it would be easy to add just like my other Caseta devices. There are two impressive things about this device. First it is well built and would seem to last a long time in an outdoor environment. Second is the range. It is not a WiFi device, it uses a 900Mhz frequency that has better penetration abilities than a 2.4Ghz signal. At first I thought I would have to install this device on the outside of the house between the outlet and the 12V transformer. But I realized that it would fit INSIDE the door on the transformer (I use a 150W transformer by Volt and it is 100% stainless steel enclosure). This made the installation much simpler and secured the device inside the transformer which you can lock. My Lutron hub is in a closet. There are 4 internal walls, a brick exterior wall and a full stainless enclosure around the switch and it works great. That is about 40 feet between the hub and the switch. I also tried it to an outlet in the backyard, even further from the hub and maybe one more wall and it still worked. Yes this switch is relatively expensive. But all the Lutron Caseta hardware I have bought is top quality. It is reliable, and Im not sending a command through some server halfway around the world to turn my lights on/off. This syncs my landscape lighting with my porch light and garage sconces. They turn on and off at the same time and I didnt need to add another system into my smart house. I removed all my WiFi connected devices out of my house, so I was happy to see Lutron release this. I bought a 2nd unit for the backyard.

Greater than one weekI used this outside in a cabana for string lights. It’s perfect - I added a pick remote to it so I have a “switch” for the lights, or I can use the phone app. Easy to setup, simple to use. Love it!

> 3 dayI love Lutron. This item is built like a tank and the HomeKit integration took five seconds. I bought similar devices from Wemo and Meross but their build quality was poor and I could never get them connected to HomeKit.

> 3 dayBought 5 of these three months ago. Two have been in service since then. Three more were used last week for Christmas Lights. All function as described. The product tracks Sunrises & Sunsets automatically. The product resets itself after a power outage. I have 10 Lutron products currently running and all have been flawless. Yes, they are a bit pricey but they Just Work!

> 3 dayThanks to the Lutron hub I have already, the plug was able to latch onto my weak wifi signal outside where other smart plugs have failed. Easy set up, seamless Homekit integration. Love my Lutron tech.

> 3 dayI own six of these outdoor plugs for lights, water fountains and two indoor alarms. They are rock solid like all Caseta devices. Apple HomeKit never fails. Easy scheduling within the app or Apple HomeKit. I wish they would make an indoor outlet rated at 1800W.
